Got back last weekend after a 10 day trip: a few days in LA and a week long cruise up and down the California Coast. The tank held up great other than some diatoms on the sand, and the glass was a little dirty. We were looking at the tank and talking about how good the corals are doing and growing. My husband says they look fake.... is that good thing or a bad thing?

Anyway, some pictures from today:

Gorgeous tank! What is your cuc? Your sand bed is spotless.

Thanks! I have 3 fighting conchs and 2 sand sifting starfish, a couple dozen mix of snails and a few emerald crabs. I do vacuum the sand when I do water changes.

Just got back from a 2 week cruise in the Baltic Sea(it's. tough job, but somebody's got to do it). Tank did good while I was away. I did lose a couple corals earlier this summer. I was able to frag them. Not sure what happened. I'll get some new pictures this week.

I really like the open sand look...it's so tranquil.

I want to be your friend. You take a lot of trips

Ok as promised.... a few pictures from today. Tested my water, everything is good except my alkalinity is a little low. Everything is growing well, knock on wood... the algae problem I had when I started the tank has not returned.
